My archive H264 files are NTSC-SD format (720x480) and have vibrant sound, color, and picture. I did this for the Nationals, Olympics and Worlds. The only difference from the original is slight loss of fine detail and slight blurring with quick movement (noticeable in the figure skating videos). But these files are huge. My Kimmie Meissner 06 Worlds FS file is 113MB (but then, that also includes the replay and scores).

I know this is a stretch, but could you try the Tanith and Ben Video under my signature and see how the video comes out? there are some very different thing (formats / resolution) going on in that video. Also this would tell me something about YSI.

Or did you see the Fumie Video Slideshow I did 2 weeks ago? same questions for both?
